How Alerted works
No rewiring, no electricians, no IT project. If you can plug in a WiFi router, you can set up Alerted.
Plug in the hub
The Alerted Hub arrives pre-configured. Plug it into power and connect it to the property WiFi. That is the whole install.
Place the sensors
Small battery-powered sensors stick or sit anywhere: living room wall, under the kitchen sink, on the garage door. They pair automatically and run for around two years on a coin cell.
Watch it on your phone
Open your dashboard from any phone or computer. Live readings, 24-hour charts, and a full history per sensor for every property you manage.
Get alerted when it matters
Set your own thresholds per sensor, like alert me if the lounge drops under 15 degrees for more than 10 minutes. Alerts arrive as push notifications with the property and reading attached.
The sensor family
| Sensor | Measures | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Climate sensor | Temperature and humidity | Habitability records, mould risk, heater and aircon failures |
| Leak sensor | Water leak detection | Under sinks, behind washing machines, hot water systems |
| Door sensor | Open and closed events | Garages, storage rooms, vacant properties |
| Smoke sensor | Smoke detection | A second layer alongside the required alarms |
| Motion sensor | Movement | Vacant property checks, storage areas |
Common questions
Does it need the tenant's WiFi?
The hub needs an internet connection at the property. Most managers use the tenant's WiFi with consent written into the tenancy agreement, or a $5 a month 4G SIM in a hub with mobile backup for vacant or premium properties.
What about tenant privacy?
Sensors measure conditions, not people. No cameras, no microphones, no tracking of individuals. Tenants can be given read-only access to their own property's conditions, which many appreciate in a dispute as much as you do.
What happens if a sensor goes offline?
Alerted watches for silence as well as readings. If a sensor or a whole property stops reporting, you get an alert for that too, so a dead battery or an unplugged hub never becomes a blind spot.
Do I need to maintain anything?
Sensor batteries last around two years and the dashboard shows battery levels, so you replace a coin cell during a routine inspection and that is it.
